For the family screening at 1.30pm, Disney’s 60th animated feature Encanto! will hit the big screen.
The musical adventure tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia.

Tickets to this are £10/£7 adult/child with a limited number of family tickets (four people) available for £30.
At 8pm, Baz Luhrmann’s epic blockbuster spectacle Elvis will screen, outlining the life of American music icon Elvis Presley.
The bio-drama follow’s the legend’s life, from his childhood to his rise to fame in the 1950s, seen through the perspective of his complex relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker.
Tickets to see Elvis start at £15, with the option to sit on the grass and bring your own blanket. For a deckchair and silent headphones, tickets are £20, and VIP tickets, which include a ‘Hound Dog’ cocktail/mocktail from 108 Brasserie as well as a deckchair, silent headphones and a blanket are £30.
The film screenings are just part of a wider, weekend long programme running Saturday, June 10 to Sunday, June 11.
There’s also alfresco bars and dining spots, food and gift stalls, live music and a dog show for all those pampered pooches.
The festival is organised and funded by The Howard De Walden Estate and will raise funds for charity partner Greenhouse Sports, a local Marylebone charity that works towards changing young lives through sport.
Marylebone Village will be pedestrianised on Sunday and host on-street stalls with fashion and food, and funfair rides. Alongside this, a programme of fun family activities includes a photo booth, DJ, live music as well as stilt walkers, bubble artists and jugglers.
